Better at the Worst.

The San Francisco Post of last night,
Speaking of the crookedness in the State
Printing Office says:
The State must expect, even at the best.
to pay little more for these books than
they would cost a private printing estab-
lishment, but not SO much as the pupils
themselves have been charged. Even if
the State could furnish the books only ct
the publishers rates which have heretofore
prevailed, the Perry amendment would not
be a failure, for. after all, the main purpose
was to shake off the corrupting influence
of the book ring, which made its odious
presence felt in every one of the ffty-tgo
counties, The State gets its work very
cheaply done, as rule, when it is given
out to private bidders. 1t is the impression
among job printers in this city that the
State was unwise in departing from the
sealed proposal system in this instance,
but the Constitution settles that. All lob
priEters in the city know that the books
. cd be printed by the State at very great
-cduction on the ring rates, and no doubt
some of them would give bonds to accom-
plish that result with the State plant and
without reducing wages.

ReIative To Irrigation.

Colonel E. r. Hamilton, acting on be-
half of the Sacramento County Improve
ment Association, has had about 500 copies
of Wrights irrigation bill. which became
a Law at the last session of the Legislature,
sent to prominent farmers of the county,
together with copies of the bylaws and
the address of the Improvement Associa-
ton. The Colonel also included a circular
urging the advantages TO be derived from
irrigation, and requesting the farmers to
join the Association. that the right men
from the county may be placed upon the
Committee on Irrigation. In his remarks
he states: From experience in doing
business in MERGED, Fresno and Tulare
counties. and observing the immense bene-
fit those counties are now deriving from
irrigation, and noticing the vo9gme OF water
in the American river that is flowing past
us, am convinced that by concert of action
of the farmers of Sacramento county the
water from said American river can be
carried across in a canal 10 the southern
edge OF the county, and thereby made TO
irrigate the land between said canal and
the Sacramento river, thereby enriching
and increasing the products and value OF
the said land many times its present
value -

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE,
Police Commissioners.

A special meeting of the Board of Police
Commissioners was held late yesterday
afternoon, all the members present. Mayor
Gregory remarked that there appeared to
be lack of harmony in the department
and It's efficiency was thereby impaired.
The Board had elected a Captain of Police
but he appeared to be ignored to a great
extent. On one occasion the Captain, in
visiting beats of the night watch, en-
deavored to find an officer on an uptown
beat, and devoted great deal of time and
exerllon to ascertaining where he was, but
unsuccessfully. Next day, in calling the
ohicer to account, ii was ascertained that
the Chief had taken him from the beat to
assist down town officer in arresting some
opium fiends, but had failed TO notify the
Captain. If letters on official business
came to the police office in the absence of
the Chief, but when the Captain was pres
ent, the officer in charge took possession of
them until the Chiefs arrival. There were
other matters that were spoken of by the
Mayor during the lengthy session, as Civ
ing reason for change of arrangements,
and he moved that the Board fix the power
and authority of the Captain of Police
suggesting that the latter have charge of
the detailing of officers for beat duty, and
their government while on watch. leaving
the general executive affairs of the Office
Tor the Chief to attend to. He thought the
force was badly demoralized, and some
thing should be done to remedy it.
There was a lengthy discussion of the
proposition by all the members. Chief
Dlllman disclaimed any intention to ignore
Captain Karcher and explained that when
the officer was removed from the uptown
beat for service in another locality. TO
which reference had been made, the ne
elect to inform the Captain of the change
was an accidental omission. The Chief
said that if fault was found with the detail
OF officers made by him the objection
should be stated, and, if improvement
could be shown, he would make the
change. If any member of the force was
not conducting himself properly, charges
should be preferred and investigated.
Judge Buckley doubted whether it would
be right and just and legal for the Board to
take from the Chief, an elective officer ahe
power to detail the men as he saw fit. I'M
less some fragrant breach of authority had
been manifested. He suggested that the
whole matter be laid over until a future
meeting, to be called by the Chairman.
prloT to which any complaints could be
properly made out and formally submitted.
This plan of procedure was agreed to.
On motion of Judge Buckley, it was de-
cided by two-thirds vote that the police
shall appear as a mounted force in the
Fourth of July parade.

Board of CITY Trustees.

AT the meeting of the Trustees yesterday
morning there was large delegation of NJ
street property owners present, many of
whom had signed a remonstrance against
the proposed grading of that street. This
remonstrance bore the following sigma
lures representing $3.50 feet of frontage, or
30 feet more than one-haIf, viz J. Wheel,

40; Mrs. Neuman, 80. Communications
were read from two or three of those
signing the remonstrance, however, with
drawing their names.
In the discussion upon the subject, il ap-
Dpared that a LARGO uupnh or Of fkOva ,,po'e
ent favored the grading of the Street but
desired that the contract be let block by
block. The idea of this appears to be that
the owners of property on the higher por-
ton of the street object to being assessed
equally with those in the lower blocks.
The power of the Board 10 order the work
done in sections as well as to assess differ
ent blocks at different rates having been
called into question, the matter was re-
terred to the City Attorney. If his opinion
be favorable to the block IA block PROPOSE
ton, several more viii withdraw their
names from the remonstrance.
The swinging-sign ordinance was passed
under suspension of the rules.
The Chief Engineer OF the Fire Depart
ment was instructed to see that smoke
stacks projecting from manufacturing es-
Establishments are of sufficient hight to lessen
the danger from fire.

reported that during the previous week

piled the city in the same length of time
The Holly pump was run l16 hours, and

The Casey Case,

Yesterday morning when the case Of I.
! c. Casey, charged with burglary, was
/ called in Department Two of the Superior
! Court, Grove L. Johnson. his counsel, pre-
/ scented an affidavit of the defendant. in
which he set forth that last Thursday
Judge Van Fleet had declared in open
/ Court, in substance, that he was satisfied
I that defendant was guilty and that he
ought to be convicted. That this state
ment showed a prejudice against defendant
/ who did not believe Judge Van Fleet could
! give him an impartial trial, and he de-
/ sired that the case might be heard before
( Judge Armstrong.
Z District Attorney Bruner objected to the
1 transferring Of the case on the around that
/ the affidavit did not present any legal rea-
! son Tor such a procedure.
Judge Van Fleet explained the circum-
Stances under which he had made the
statement attributed TO him. It was in re-
Spouse to a motion of counsel for the de-
| Tense for dismissal, that the Court called
| the attention of the attorneys to the fact
! that the District Attorney canLot dismiss
! actions, that being wholly the province of
/ the Court. The law calls upon the CONT to
| give the reason for his refusal TO dismiss.
and in doing so he had stated that from
the testimony taken at the recent trial he
was sausied the defendant was guilty and
as the same evidence was TO be used against
him in the ensuing trial, be believed there
was good reason for refusal TO dismiss. He
| did not believe the opinion of Judge
/ would make any difference in trial before
jury, but the present matter was discre-
! tionary with the Court, and be would be
well satisfied ifJu6ge Armstrong; arrange
ments would admit of his presiding over
the trial.
Jadge Armstrong was called into Court
and the question of hearing the case sub
! mitted to him, when he responded that his
health was so poor that he would be una
BILE to do so.
Finally, by consent, the case was con-
tinued until July 9th, and meanwhile
| Judge Van Fleet will endeavor to persuade
some Judge from abroad TO preside.
